The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap

“Tune n tonite 2 c who gets the biggest Hater Award. Was so many it was hard 2 decide. help me pick the winner,” tweeted Cynthia Bailey yesterday.

“Right” was NeNe Leakes’s reply to her good friend Cynthia, who didn’t respond to her by the way. “In the fashion industry, they’re always looking for the next young model so that’s going to be tough for Cynthia because young ain’t on her side right now,” were Nene’s exact words about her good friend Cynthia following her runway walk. Dear Nene, me thinks Cynthia was referring to you as well, or at least she should have been.

Moving right along to last night’s episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, which wasn’t the finale as that airs next week.

The episode beings with the continuation of the tour bus ride from hell. Kim and Nene continue to argue as Nene also continues to make all kinds of threats. “I’ll toss you out the window,” threatens Nene as I wonder why the two Bravo housewives who claim to be victims of domestic violence, and advocate against it, aka Nene and Taylor Armstrong, are always the first ones to threaten violence. Funny how that works.

The tour bus finally touches base in Miami as the other ladies anxiously await their arrival. If only they knew that Hurricane Nene was heading their way. “You need to grow up and you need to know how to handle a conversation like an adult,” continues Nene as she yells at Kim back on the bus. “It’s so childish and immature,” adds the 42-year-old Nene. Oh the irony. I can assure you if you were to look into a dictionary at this very moment for the word irony hater, Nene’s photo will pop up!

If there’s anything to be learned from last night’s episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, it is thatKim Zolciak seriously missed her calling as a comedienne. I mean seriously as some of the comments coming out of Kim’s mouth can only be described as pure comedy. A few of the more memorable quotes below -

“There’s a part of Phaedra that I actually like but she does lie. That’s a problem.”

“Papa never cheated on me.”

“I never really stopped [singing]. I just said I wanted to be a one hit wonder over and over again.”

With that said, let’s get right to the recap! The episode begins with Phaedra and Apollo at home as Phaedra is planning yet another country party. This time around, it’s a “Sip and See,” and no I’ve never heard of that in my life either. Phaedra then goes on to fill Apollo in on her recent conflict with Kim though in Phaedra’s delusional world, any negative comment made about her can only stem from jealousy or hating rather. “We command a lot of attention because look at us, we are attractive people. We are doing well and unfortunately, people are not happy for other people’s success in Atlanta. Haterville,” states the always insightful one. The Nidas decide the best way to deal with the Kim drama is to invite her to the Sip and See circus.

Time to recap the 3rd episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta titled ‘White Hot.’

This episode brought us fame monsters, threats to unborn babies and the magical appearance of Sheree’s eldest daughter. The episode starts out with Kim Gaga verbally abusing her assistant Sweetie, while also packing for her big live concert in front of the biggest gay dance party in the universe. Evidently, lip syncing to an auto-tuned backtrack takes a lot of preparation.

Nene takes her youngest son Brent out for a walk in the park. The two share a tender mother and son moment during which Nene brings up the topic of Bryson’s arrest. Nene states in her interview that she did not want to go into the arrest details with Brent due to his young age, but something tells me at age 11, Brent is well aware of all that is going on around him.
